| Tartalmi kivonat: | Since the pandemic, numerous theoretical discourses have examined a world order often described as posthuman, in which the unsettling realization of nature’s uncontrollability has become an inherent part of our culture. Lockdowns and quarantine relocated social relationships into digital space an event that not only marked a technological shift, but also led to existential and ontological reconfigurations of human existence. Solitude emerged as a new experiential quality, proliferating across digital platforms. The supposedly oppositional spheres of reality and imagination, fact and desire, trauma and compensation, loneliness and community began to infiltrate one another virally, dissolving their autonomy and forming hybrid, infected categories. In this study, I analyze a contemporary Hungarian pandemic novel to explore theoretical approaches that trace the formation of new patterns of selfhood within the hybrid space shaped by digitalization and the virus understood both as a biological entity and as a metaphor. |
